There will be new champions in the Li Ning BWF World Superseries men’s and women’s singles competitions, but all three doubles defending champions are on the verge of repeating as winners.

Mathias Boe-Carsten Mogensen (men’s doubles), Wang Xiaoli-Yu Yang (women’s doubles) and Zhang Nan-Zhao Yunlei (mixed doubles) all qualified for their respective gold medal matches with the two Chinese pairs hoping to complete a remarkable year which has also seen them claim world titles.
